I do agree. I looked really hard at Monarch's Heron's Hill. Eventually, I decided to go for the Emerald City. Yes, there are plenty of defects here and there. For example, there are more than 30 scratches on the floor. I wish they would all be fixed but in reality it might not be the case...

I saw empty boxes next to the P2 elevator entrance last night. I reported it to the Management Office this morning and it was removed this evening. Very efficient.

Hi Probey, I did the PDI today. It took me more than one-hour. Thomas was very nice. He didn't rush me and gave us extra time to check different things out. I would say the standard checklist should be good enough. I would suggest to bring a flashlight as some areas were dark. Bring a roll...

I have requested for two additional channels: Fairchild and Fairchild HD. Bell will give them to me free during the 6 months period.

I am on the 31th floor and I should get the keys on Feb 5. I called the office today for the PDI date. They said I would receive an email notification on Jan 27.

I passed by the site and saw workers today.

newbuyer, sorry for the delay. Albert was sick and I forgot about it. Rate: 4.690. Term of Mortgage: 5 years. Closing date: Mar 28, 2014.

Merry Christmas and happy new year! I will meet with Albert, the RBC mortgage rep, tmr to lock the mortgage rate. I will provide an update later.

Welcome Gary. Is there an option to upgrade to the smooth ceiling? I didn't ask. Well, I am ok with the popcorn ceiling.

Paid extra for the hardwood floor :)

Thanks newbuyer. You did well in research. I chose package C with kitchen counter top from Package A. I also chose black appliances. I didn't go for the kitchen valance lighting as the electrical wiring will be rough in.

Thanks newbuyer. My appointment is later this month. I went to IKEA to get some ideas and saw the LED light strips. Quite nice. I will not get the upgrade. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/search/?query=LED+lights

Thanks newbuyer and probey. I may save the money on the stainless steel appliances and upgrade the bathroom. I think black appliances with package C is not ideal but should be ok. What do you think?

Thanks techia. I may go for package C with granite counter top from A. I am thinking about stainless steel appliances + pre-engineered hardwood in bedroom + kitchen valance lighting. A lot of money out of my pocket. I've been browsing magazines, it seems like most of the model homes now use...

Photos taken on May 4, 2012

My appointment hasn't been setup yet. Could you please take a few photos and share with me what's there in the studio? I went there on a Sat afternoon but couldn't get in. Could you please also check how the builder is going to assign the parking? Last time I heard, the parking spot would be...

The contruction has not reached the ground level as of today

Progess as of March 30, 2012 Well, is it possible to build 3 storeys per month? The picture below was taken on Mar 30.

Thanks drum118 for the update. I bought a phase 1 unit. Should we receive letters from the builders regarding the new completion date? It's a big delay. The occupancy is scheduled for 2011 as per the builder's site: http://eladcanada.com/development/emerald-city/
